Hey all, it has been a while since I have posted anything on here, and I wish I could say I have all this stuff to post that's why I have been away however I only have two. Unfortunately we have been noticing problems with our oldest wild thing, and we are having him tested for ADHD. The only thing is we are not putting him on medication because well I just don't believe in it. I have nothing against anyone who puts their kids on it or is on it themselves. Its just not something I want for my child. So we have been attempting to change his diet and the things he eats. eliminating things like milk, red dye, and ultimately we are now trying to transition him to a "gluten free" diet to see how that helps him. I have been stressing so much over this because well to be completely honest gluten free everything is expensive!! Snacks, cake, brownie, cookie mixes. Its all expensive and that's something we are not use to.
I have been doing some studying however, and I am coming to a decision to try and just home make everything gluten free, right down to making my own gluten free all purpose flour so I can bake with. So I am beginning to try more recipes on my own now, so he can still have the things he loves like brownies, ice cream etc. just making it gluten free, but also something good tasting. So today I am trying out gluten free Peanut Butter Chocolate Ice Cream, super simple recipe. I am hoping to try it out on him tonight, and get his input so I can share.
This is definitely a new life style we are not use to, and of course if one of my boys is going to have to be gluten free, I may as well do both, that way its not unfair that my youngest can have all the unhealthy snacks and my oldest has to just watch and have his own. So far this has not been so easy on either one, as they are so use to being able to have just anything from the store and now we have to read the backs of everything and they can only have so much. Its frustrating to say the least, but I know with a lot of prayers for strength, that God will guide us and help us to not overly stress and to be calm about it. I know I have already wanted to break down in the store looking at all the expensive stuff, and then I thought well I am a stay at home mom anyway, I may as well just make all my own stuff from scratch. It will be a challenge but like I said with the right amount of prayer and faith, I'm sure I wont go crazy over it!! :-)
Cant wait to update you all on the ice cream! Be Blessed Ya'll!
